Three and a half hours from dusk to late night, about gangster movies, about the golden age of Hollywood, about life's eloquent memories and farewells

The 79-year-old filmmaker Martin Scorsese did not continue to vividly depict the dark rivers and lakes that killed the liver and brain this time,...

"The Irishman" is directed by Martin Scorsese, starring Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Joe Pessi. The film spans decades and records one of the largest unsettled cases in American history, the disappearance of legendary union leader Jimmy Hoffa. With the feelings of "Godfather", "Good Guys", "Once...

Disappearing from the domineering arrogance of "The Good Guy", "The Irishman" is relatively steady and slow. The protagonist is still the middleman, and his existence defines a certain ethical and moral boundary. For three and a half hours, I watched an old man talk about a history about the struggle for power. "The Irishman" has a bleak background. No matter how magnificent the past is, it is lonely and hard to find a place to return. At this time, natural death is more unfortunate than being assassinated. There is no too much blood and rain, and an important person's exit can be without waves. Scorsese no longer uses anthropological methods to make movies, and the parental shortness has become simple, and the complex supporting roles have no sense of existence. The challenge for the old opera bones this time is to use their 80-year-old bodies to perform their 50-year-old momentum. The wrinkled face with special effects will still be a little weird. After all, we have witnessed how De Niro and Joe Pesci get old through Scorsese's movies, and the technology can only rejuvenate their faces, but the sense of age. It's not just determined by appearance. And I don’t know if old Martin wants to return to his prime, but the years are not forgiving, and people have to convince the old.

In the end, it was really sad. After all, we are no match for time, this is the most terrifying killer. In fact, this is a gangster movie with an elderly mentality. Compared with Martin's previous gangster works, it is less cruel, more tender and affectionate, and sentimental after an era has passed. The film has a very slow tempo and slower entry into the film. It takes more than an hour to actually enter the film after all sorts of clues are laid. The last hour was truly wonderful, with the tension of crime and the last sentimentality. "Look for my lawyer" "He died" "Who did it" "Cancer". Such lines make me feel so sad that I want to cry after laughing. It's hard to see the reunion of Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, Joe Pessi, Harvey Keitel and others again.
